There’s nothing like a reunion. Whether you are attending a family reunion, where you get together with members of your extended family that you don’t often see, or a school reunion, where you can meet up again with old school friends that you have lost touch with, a reunion is a once in a lifetime chance to reconnect, reminisce and rejoice.
Reunions are much anticipated events and often take lots of care and planning – and they often are accompanied by a good deal of food and drink as well, as everyone takes the time to catch up with one another. So, with that in mind, it’s easy to see why reunions are the perfect occasion for using draft beer dispensers.
Unless the reunion that’s been organized is for a bunch of school-aged friends, most reunions are rather large events that are well planned in the food and beverage department. Alcoholic beverages are typically a part of the festivities, and in some cases only beer and wine, or only beer are served to cut down on expenses.
Since everyone loves to have a few drinks while catching up with old friends or family members that have travelled from near and far, having a keg and keg dispenser on hand can be the most efficient and cost effective option for serving beer at a reunion.
Kegerators can be rented if you don’t already own one and are basically the refrigerated compartment that houses a keg or half keg of beer. You may wonder why you would need the kegerator and can’t just get away with the keg, and the answer is simple – kegs of beer need to be kept cold or the beer tastes lousy and starts to go bad.
Back in your younger days, you may have been okay with just throwing a keg into a bucket full of ice and hoping that it would stay somewhat cold before the keg was emptied, but you can remember how lousy most of that beer tasted. If you’re serving beer to a crowd of anything other than college aged frat boys, chances are that you at least want to make sure the beer tastes good – and that means you’ll need to keep it good and cold. A kegerator will do that for you – and will also make an eyesore of a keg look more attractive if it’s being left out in clear view for people to help themselves.
So, if planning a reunion is on your list of things to do in the near future, make sure that someone is taking care of ensuring there’s a kegerator for the beer. If no one owns a keg refrigerator, or the place you are holding the reunion does not supply one, you can easily rent a kegerator for the night or weekend to use at your event.
By having a kegerator on hand, you can focus on catching up with old friends and finding out what they’ve been doing since you’ve seen them last, rather than reminiscing about what it was like the last time you were drinking warm, lousy beer together.
